Veronica Hohenheim Posted October 2, 2025 Report Posted October 2, 2025 TLDR:So this long ass post is about asking for recommendations. I am not used to using forums.When I first met with the internet mass social media was already a thing.Other then using it on my relatives keyboard phone to explore glorious world wide web I would use it to play facebook games in my neighboors computer.And when I had my own internet it was so limited,I would only use it to watch u tube gameplay vids.Wifi came to my life late and I kind of missed the forum era.I remember I have seen them in my computer class in middle school but it stayed abstract since I didnt had a wifi back then.So it was never a habit for me to use them.I guess I did came across to them time to time,when I had to look something up but never actually made an account in any of them. My first use of a forum probably would be steam.Using discussions segment to get help.It does feel amazing,having a dedicated commuinity talking,helping other people and u dont need to shout to void to find something.Tho steam as big as it is it brings a lot of toxic people too but that unrelated to this topic.Now that I have been using mainstream social media for over a decade I kind of want to put a distance between me and them.Tech is,well I dont know how much politics are tolerated here but it is and progressively becoming a manipulation device for people in the higher ups.Even ignoring that having to cry to a gut wrenching story and a second later laguhing my ass of couldnt be healthy. I have been using here for a short while and asked myself why not find more forums to join in.So this long ass post is about asking for recommendations. 1
Echo Weaver Posted October 5, 2025 Report Posted October 5, 2025 (edited) Hmm. I'm not sure I know what to recommend as a general forum. Usually they're built around a common interest, and I don't know what your non-VS interests are. I hang out on forums for other video games I like. I tend to go deep rather than broad with my video games, so I only play a few but get very intense about them. Video game forums are a mixed bag. Forums dedicated to certain types of games, particularly broadly popular games, tend to be pretty toxic. Forums for indie games and nerdy games can be really fantastic communities. ETA: Tagging @Veronica Hohenheim, since I don't think you'll get a notification. Edited October 8, 2025 by Echo Weaver 1
